What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from milliliters per second into kilograms per day for gasoline standardized at 15.5°C, facilitating volume to mass flow rate conversion within petroleum applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in milliliter/second you want to convert
-
Select 'milliliter/second' as the input unit
-
Choose 'kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the output unit
-
Execute the conversion to obtain the mass flow rate
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow (mL/s) to mass flow rate (kg/day) for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Applies temperature correction to standardize measurements at 15.5°C
-
Useful for petroleum custody transfer and inventory management
-
Browser-based and simple to use without installation
Examples
-
2 mL/s equals 127.75606 kg/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
0.5 mL/s equals 31.93902 kg/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Setting flow rates on syringe pumps and microfluidic devices
-
Reporting gasoline deliveries in mass units for custody transfer
-
Inventory reconciliation in fuel depots and refineries
-
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions accounting
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow measurements are accurate to improve conversion reliability
-
Use the conversion only for gasoline at 15.5°C to maintain precision
-
Confirm temperature control during measurement to reduce errors
-
Apply the tool for small-scale flow rates such as laboratory and field applications
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes a constant gasoline density at 15.5°C
-
Not applicable to other fluids or temperatures besides 15.5°C gasoline
-
Accuracy depends on precision of input volumetric measurements and temperature control
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this tool convert flow rates for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this converter is specific to gasoline standardized at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids.
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
15.5°C is the reference temperature used in petroleum measurement to standardize mass–volume conversions for consistent reporting.
-
Does the conversion factor change with gasoline composition or temperature?
-
Yes, variations in gasoline density or temperature deviations can affect the accuracy of the conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter/second (mL/s)
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow representing one milliliter of fluid flowing past a point each second.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating kilograms of gasoline passing a point per day, adjusted for gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership of petroleum products where accurate mass flow measurements standardized by temperature are required.
